    I personally write almost exclusively in cursive. Printing always felt so much more unnatural to me given that it requires lifting your pencil far too often. All of your time is spent lifting and resetting your pencil.

    Having said that, I know my feelings on this are outside the norm. And I know for many it is seen as having a steep learning curve.

      There is nothing wrong with you enjoying cursive. It should be an optional class like any art.

      I personally enjoy wood working using only hand tools, however if someone needed to learn basic carpentry, I’d be showing them how to use power tools.

        I agree with your overall point but not the metaphor. Printing is more like using hand tools than cursive is, given it is slower and less mechanically efficient.
